The nirvana fallacy is the informal fallacy of comparing actual things with unrealistic, idealized alternatives. It can also refer to the tendency to assume there is a perfect solution to a particular problem. A closely related concept is the “perfect solution fallacy.” Wikipedia

This is a logical fallacy that antivaxxers love to use. “By creating a false dichotomy that presents one option which is obviously advantageous—while at the same time being completely implausible—a person using the nirvana fallacy can attack any idea by implying it is imperfect.” pic.twitter.com/JoOaiFZ0ha

Getting an infection after a vaccine is not a vaccine failure. Vaccines do not need to eliminate disease to be effective. Their primary intended effect is to reduce severity of disease. It’s a bonus when they can do more & it’s a logical fallacy to make perfect the enemy of good.
